Indonesia past and present

By: Hagen

Political System nowThe political system of Indonesia is a

framework of a presidential representative democratic republic. Indonesia is a unitary state with power concentrated in the national government. In the Indonesian government, the powers is vested in the executive, which is exercised by the government, legislative power is vested in both the government and the two People's Representative Councils and the judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

Political system at the past

Last time there were a lot of Kingdoms in a certain place. Each kingdom rule their area their self.

Connection

A president or a king always have a contact with other president or a king in other places like foreign places.

Geographical nowIndonesia, the world's largest archipelago nation, is located astride the equator in the humid tropics and extends some 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) east-west, about the same as the contiguous United States. It is surrounded by oceans, seas, and straits except where it shares an island border with East Malaysia and Brunei on Borneo (Kalimantan); with Papua New Guinea on New Guinea; and with Timor Loro Sae on Timor. West Malaysia lies across the Straits of Malaka, the Philippines lies to the northeast, and Australia lies to the south.

Geographical at the pastThe archipelago's location has played a profound

role in economic, political, cultural, and religious developments there. For more than two thousand years, trading ships sailed between the great civilizations of India and China via the waters and islands of the Indies. The islands also supplied

Connection

Indonesia capital city is still Jakarta after it is changes from Yogyakarta and the name of the places are changed a little bit

Religions now Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim country,

with 86% of the population professing Islam. In addition, almost 9% of the population is Christian, 2% are Hindu, and 3% are Buddhist or animist.

Nearly all of the Hindu Indonesians live on the island of Bali; most of the Buddhists are ethnic Chinese. The Constitution of Indonesia guarantees freedom of worship, but the state ideology specifies a belief in only one God.

Religions at the past

Connection

Some of the religion is still in the same amount but some has gone from Indonesia

Economic now

Now there are a lot of bank notes and less coins. But credit card is the most popular because it is light to carry instead of carrying lots of heavy coins. It is also useful if we need to pay expensive thing.

Economic at the past The first coin-like products found in Indonesia date

from the ninth Century Buddhist Sailandra dynasty and were produced in Indonesia until the twelfth century: gold and silver massa (emas is the modern Indonesian word for 'gold') and kupang.

The Majapahit empire, which became important in Java and Sumatra from the late 13th Century, received, with the arrival of Chinese traders, holed copper coins known as cash.

Connection

From coins they make it into paper with the same value and make bigger value in a paper with also have the same value with how many coins

Social now

There is a war but the war is actually fighting for high position like in the political system to be a DPR or others

Social at the past

Before in kingdoms there are wars with other country to steal Indonesia richness or resources

Connection

There will always have a bad thing happening to get what they want

wars: to get resources(past)

Stealing: to get valuable belongings(now)

Implication for the future

I think in the future Indonesia will get better and worst because for the social now people like to do bad thing/behavior when there are more valuable things(technology : phone).

If better is by having more relationship between countries and can make Indonesia country bigger.
